Before the 50 training officers left the royal capital to serve in different armies, Zeng You's letter to Chu Chao-hui from the post arrived. In the letter, Zeng You asked for Chu Chao Hui's opinion on marriage.

"Zeng You is also twenty-five or twenty-six, right?" Zheng Yu remembered that Zeng You had been a mountain bandit for just four or five years in the big mountains northeast of Dacheng.

"After the New Year, you will be twenty-seven, you should start a family." Chu Chao Hui in the letter approved a 'can' word.

Zeng You was born as a bandit, and was defeated by Chu Chao Hui with 50 slave soldiers, and then he entered into the valley. He has always been a good boy in the valley, and was very serious in the training, plus he knew how to ride a horse when he was a bandit, Chu Chao Hui appointed Zeng You as the captain of the cavalry when he set up the cavalry team. The cavalry team in the valley developed from the initial dozen of riders to thousands of riders during the crusade against the king's capital, to which Zeng You contributed a great deal.

"Zeng You is still measured and won't be drawn in by the local nobles." Zheng Yuming was impressed with the athletic short man with a dark complexion.

Zeng You made a great achievement in the war against Tiger Tribe in Su Plain. After the explosion of the Wang Du city building, Zeng You led the cavalry into the city to fight with Jiang Dafu's private army and played an important role in defeating Jiang Dafu's private army, and he also made achievements in the battle of Qucheng and the battle of defending the city at the mouth of the throat, so Zeng You was awarded the title of 'Scholar' as a matter of course.

"It's not so bad to be pulled in right now, but it's just that even though Zeng You was born a bandit, his heart still yearns for the noble class." Chu Chaohui was quite clear about his men's minds.

Zeng You and Wei Qing values are not the same, Wei Qing wandered from childhood and suffered a lot of trials and tribulations, there is no class hierarchy in his eyes, only advantages and disadvantages. Since he was sheltered by Chu Chao Hui and Zheng Yuming, he took the interests of Zheng and Chu as his own, and as long as he jeopardized Zheng and Chu, Wei Qing treated them as his enemies. And Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui's attitude towards the nobles, Wei Qing can hazily feel that Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui are suppressing and pulling the nobles together at the same time.

Regardless of whether they are suppressing or pulling them together, Zheng Chu's two men's vigilance against the nobles is always present, so Wei Qing naturally puts himself outside the noble community to scrutinize them, and when Zeng You's intention to marry with the nobles of Qucheng reveals itself, Wei Qing doesn't hesitate to denounce them to Chu Chao Hui.

Zeng You became a bandit because he was forced by life, his values are still the values of the Da Qin society, deep in his heart, he aspires to the noble class, now that his identity has changed, of course, he will not choose a commoner woman for his marriage partner, so the Qucheng nobles extended the olive branch to him, and Zeng You's heart was immediately moved.

Chu Chao Hui knew that not only Zeng You was of this opinion, but many of his carefully trained inner circle thought the same way, this was the reason why Chu Chao Hui was anxious to send down the training officer, diluting the general's control over the army was a necessary means of ensuring that his trusted men did not mutiny.

"Zeng You is considered a late marriage, Zhou Cheng should also get engaged as soon as possible, oops, Yu Kui is the oldest one ah, this guy is going to be thirty-one in the New Year, right?" Zheng Yuming slapped his head, feeling that he was too unconcerned about his men.

After Yu Kui fled Chu at the age of twenty, he grew a large thick beard, unkempt, and looked old. When Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui first saw Yu Kui in Nambu, Yu Kui gave them the impression of a middle-aged man. When Yu Kui served as the governor of Ulsan County, with Wu as a backer, and no longer afraid of Chu's arrest, he began to dress decently, and shaved off his thick beard, so that the whole man showed his true age.

"Marriage has its own destiny, sometimes worrying about it is useless, we are still spending our time on business." Chu Chao Hui a one meter seventy-nine Zheng Yuming carried into the bedroom to do business, Zheng Yuming came to Great Qin more than four years, grew two centimeters taller, height than in the twenty-first century higher than one centimeter, but it is Chu Chao Hui, the height is still the original one meter eighty-three, there is no increase, it may be the reason that when Chu Chao Hui was transported by the blue light, the skeleton has already been grown into the cause.

"I haven't finished approving my official documents..." Zheng Yuming's protest came from the bedroom, and with a door slam, the protest was blocked by the room door. The life guards on duty next door to the room heard the bedroom door slam and tiptoed into the study, extinguishing the oil lamps before exiting and closing the door; the two masters of the Prime Minister's Office went into the bedroom to rest, so that they too could take a nap in the duty room.

Su women will hand in the hands of the green robe picked up and looked at, feel satisfied, decided to call it a night tomorrow to continue sewing, this green robe is for Chu Chaohui sewing, tomorrow and then do the final processing, the green robe can be completed, and can be and has been done with white robes together to send into the premier ministerial house.

"Aunt Su, do all women have to marry?" Huo Sihua put down the white paper in her hands, which had crooked handwriting on it.

"Of course, how can a woman not marry." Su woman sized up Huo Sihua, her heart muttering in secret, this child is only fourteen after the New Year, has he already gotten the hang of it?

"And what kind of marriage is a good marriage?" Huo Si Hua stared at the letter paper in front of her, the letter was from Tuoyue.

When Tuoyi went to Nanbu with his father and elder brother, they were accompanied by Huo Sihua. Although Huo Sihua was four years younger than Tuoyi, he had a stable character since he was a child, and got along well with Tuoyi, who was a lively person. After the two became close friends, Huo Sihua would cross the river to look for Huo Sihua whenever he stayed in Nanbu, and after Huo Sihua went north, the post station from Kangcheng to Weishan was opened, and the two began to write to each other. Tuoyi had learned to write for more than three years, but his handwriting was difficult to read, and compared to Huo Sihua, it was a heaven and a earth.

"Of course it is only a good marriage if it is made by the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker." The Su woman had grown up in a large noble family since she was a child, and at the bottom of her heart was the aristocrats' idea of marriage.

"What about two lovers?" Hosea asked in a low voice.

"It's better to have two lovers, this is a divine couple, just like..." Su women originally wanted to say that such couples like Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui like love, but thought of Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui two people are men, can not have offspring, ultimately a bit of beauty in the shortcomings.

"There must be a parent's order, a matchmaker's word, and two lovers." Huo Sihua exhaled and lifted his pen to write down a lot on the letter paper in one go, as if completing a task.

"Si Hua, what are you writing?" Su Woman hooked her head and looked at it, she didn't recognize most of the densely written words. Su woman's age is already nearly forty, although still intelligent, but to the thirties and then go to practice words, that is how can not remember, learn more than a year, only to recognize a hundred words, barely able to write a recipe, feel that they are really not able to tutorial material, but also give up to go to night school, Minghui Valley many older people tutorials are like this.

"Didn't write anything." Huo Si Hua looked up towards Su Woman and smiled to cover it up, her best friend had instructed her not to tell anyone, so of course she had to keep her mouth shut.

Zheng Yuming did not because of the so-called 'business' will be able to force the marriage of the staff forget, Yu Kui family was once the Chu country's premier big family, the family before the disaster, Yu Kui's grandfather for Yu Kui set a prominent marriage, but the family after the disaster, the marriage is not counted, the woman has long since repented of the marriage to marry another marriage. Yu Kui is obsessed with revenge, plus he has to hide himself to escape from the Chu wanted to kill, to start a family has not been put in mind. After joining Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui, he worked as an undercover agent in the royal capital of Kangcheng, and was unable to take care of his life, and when he became the governor of Ulsan County, his busy official duties took up most of his time, and his marriage was still unresolved.

A letter from Zeng You applying to Chu Chao Hui for marriage reminds Zheng Yuming that he has to help Yu Kui, who is almost thirty-one years old, to start a family earlier.

Both will be Yu Kui's life on the heart, Zheng Yuming would like to Yu Kui to find a good marriage. Zheng Yuming Yu Kui is quite important to Yu Kui, Yu Kui's marriage is quite concerned, decided in his heart, will be Yu Kui to find a virtuous and beautiful woman as his wife. This year's Spring Festival, the Prime Minister of the House of exceptionally hospitable, banquet nobles one set and another set, after observing and analyzing the people, found that a common feature, to go to the banquet of the nobles at home are to be married to a girl.

After people noticed the trick, there was a rumor swirling in the royal court that Gong Zi Ming was going to marry a woman to carry on his family's legacy.
